WRF Post Processor Software Package

WRF Post Processor Overview

Please note: No new updates will be provided for the WRF Post Processor software package and support is being phased out. Please migrate to the replacement package - Unified Post Processor (UPP).

The NCEP WRF Postprocessor was designed to interpolate both WRF-NMM and WRF-ARW output from their native grids to National Weather Service (NWS) standard levels (pressure, height, etc.) and standard output grids (AWIPS, Lambert Conformal, polar-stereographic, etc.) in NWS and World Meteorological Organization (WMO) GRIB format. This package also provides an option to output fields on the model's native vertical levels.

A sample script named run_wrfpostandgempak, which is included in the scripts/ directory, can be used to run wrfpost, copygb, and plot some fields using GEMPAK. This script can be modified to customize fields for output.
